FundRaiser Basic v1.35 by Professional Support Software Fund raising is an important means of obtaining personal, project, or business financing. But, it is not without its overhead.

FundRaiser Basic helps cut down on that time and provide you with quick and easy access to information. With FundRaiser Basic, you can create standard inquiry, proposal, and thank you letters which are automatically generated from your mailing list. Special user defined codes help classify donors, donations, projects, or anything else you might wish to classify. Special reports and search features put all you information within quick and easy reach. And, quick and easy are the keys to FundRaiser. On-line help is a single key stroke away at all times. However, the simple interface and straight forward data entry system ensure that you will seldom, if ever, need that key stroke. If you do any fund raising, you owe it to yourself to try FundRaiser Basic. New features include: This program is designed to combine the Master files from two separate FundRaiser Basic programs, looking for possible duplicates as it goes. Why would you want to do this? Well, you may have a big list of names to type into the program and want to spread the work out among several people. Just give each person a copy of FundRaiser Basic on a floppy and their share of the list on paper, and tell them to bring it all back when they have entered all their assigned names. Then, all you have to do is run this program, and it will combine the names (and contributions, if any) that they entered with the ones on your "master" computer. Or you may want to share your list with another like-minded agency that also uses FundRaiser Basic. This can be a great way to expand your mailing list at very low cost.
